The Louisville Courier-J ourral claims
that The Democratic party must prepare
to fight the labor vote. This is nonsense
Take the labor vote from either of the
leading parties and !here would not be
enough left to make an average Green
bsck convention. Those laborers who
meet in martial array and permit the
bosses to sell them to the highest bidder
in New York are Only very small por
ton Of the labor vote. The political per.
ties Of the country are made up OF labor

PRIVATE P0sTOFFICEs MUSE 60.

The officials of the Chicago postoffice
have case in hand which promises, &C.
cording to the statement Of Harry Dono-
van. Supariatendent OF Carriers, to iurn-
ish amusing Developments within a short
time. Detectives have been at work for
some weeks upon an investigation OF the
private p0stottiGes OF the city, aud have
reported TO headquarters that there are
twenty-three places at which "private"
mail is delivered. There is one on the
West Side, one on the North Side, one st
the extreme South Side, and twenty in
the heart Of the city. All are managed IL
open violation of the law.
"Nearly sill the periodical stores in the
heart Of the city, with one or two honor
able excep{iols," said superintendent
Donovan, "are to q greater or less eX-
tent depots Of clandestire correspon-
dence."
This correspondence, from all that can
be lesrned, is productive Of no good, but

THE NEYICAN MUSS

Our dispatches from the City of Mexico
would indicate thst there might be some
chance for another revolution on q small
scale in that turbulent city. The Cleri-
Gals and anti-Clerjcals are arrayed against
each other, or rather the office holders
and those who wish TO be the office-holders
are fighting each other, and the latter, be-
lieving their case hopeless unless success
can be accomplished by revolution, are
arousing the religious fire and ignorant
0igotry of the people. Plots, intrigues
and secret sCheming 60 on forever. The
unstable character of the government ana
the revolutionary character OF the people
give these miscreants encouragement end
hold cut hopes of success 10 skillful
sedition. The republic has not be-
come republican only in name. The
presidency possesses all The attri-
butes aud powers Of the throne,
aud is looked upon by the
masses as being but little better. For
eign influences are at WORK to disrupt the
government, bring about chaos SO that IN
opportunity to step in and rule may pre-
sent itself The spread of democratic
spirit and sentiment is becoming so gen
eral aud extensive thgt the cider govern
ments "by divine right" are alarmed for
their safety and fsin would strengthen
themselves at any cost. France is cer-
tainly subjected to the fierce fires OF
hatred FROM European monarchies under
diff rent forms and guises snd Mexico
cannot hope TO escape unscathed. It
may be herslded as Clerical and anti
Clerical fight, but the real fight is between
the Republicans sud Monarchists, neither
OF whom cares fg for the churches OF
church people, only as they can be made
to serve purpose.

After Another Office,
chicago Herald

SnlFaGO Herald,
In nominating Fred Grant for Secretary
of State in New York it was asserted that
be was competent to discharge the duties
of the office. 1t hei is not, the country
has thrown away something upon his ed
ucation. He was cadet at West Point.
Assigned at graduation to the post of
subsltern, favoritism instantly gave him
the position of aide, with the rank and
psy Of lieutenant colonel. At MS age his
father, who had made the Mexican cam
psign, was still lieutenant. Unjustly
advanced at the very threshold of his Co
Teer until he Outranked veterans upon the
L'euten sut- Generals staff who we're Ca
diets before he wss born. While he Wss still
in his homage were commanding divisions
in the Union army, Col. Grants military
service consisted for the most part IN
securing protracted leaves CT ab
SERGE, during one OF which he
made tour of the world. With OPP
portunities such as he possessed, Fred
Grant ought to have been able TO pick up
the knowledge that would fit him f0r
Secretary CT State st Albany. But the
question OF mis- fitness was not seriously
considered. He wanted q place. He
slwsys wanted a place. The capacity to
do for himself he never developed. The
party was in search CT & candidate who
could win votes. Fred's own nsma is q
synonym Of failure, but he was to be run
not for himself but upon the memory Ct
his father, form OF politics which NTH
erto has not commended itself TO the
American people. In a gUshy moment
Mr.. EVarts, who never appears 10 Sdyan-
tsge as sentimentalist, procls med with
needless pr0lixity CT words that Fred
Grant was attentive at the deathbed of
his father. Is fllial devotion so rare that
when discovered the dutiful son must be
rewarded with nomination for office?

Cardinal Taschereau and the Knights.

New YoRK, April 6.-The World prints an
interview with gentleman conversant with
Cardinal Taschereau, and who talked with
the cardinal yesterday. The gentleman says
that the cardinal has not changed his UNI
favorable opinion of the knights of Labor;
that the pope authorized the continuance of
the decree against the order in Canada; that
this attitude must extend to the order in the
United States, as the order is the same and
cannot be approved in one place and disap-
proved in another; that Cardinal Gibbons
views have had little weight with the Vati-
can; that there is no possibility of the REIN
statement Of DR.. McGlynn, there being no
sympathy for him at Rome, and that Arch
bishop Corrigan's course is fully approved
by the pope.
